Appropriate preventive measures, by which a legal entity can significantly reduce its criminal liability, were presented.

CHSH Kališ & Partners is participating in a project of the Association of small and medium-sized enterprises and crafts of the Czech Republic in cooperation with Komerční banka, which is supposed to map the perception of crafts by the Czech population, by evaluation of quality, accessibility, price-performance ratio and finally the attractiveness of apprenticeships. In this project CHSH Kališ & Partners is focused on possible legislative changes to the Trade Licensing Act.“The Trade Licensing Act does not need to change as a whole. But it is necessary to commence with enforcement of partial changes that will contribute to improve the current situation in the market suffering from lack of quality craftsmen. For instance, transfer of selected trades from free trades to craft trades and increasing demands on proving of professional qualification and work experience,” says Petr Kališ, partner of CHSH Kališ & Partners. “The aim of these proposals is to increase qualification and examine work experience of trade license applicants and thereby to improve the quality of crafts for customers”, adds Kališ.More information is available at http://www.amsp.cz/trapeni-ceskych-remeslniku-neodborna-konkurence-a-hon-statu
